This year, one teacher will receive more than a shiny apple for their hard work in the classroom.


The NWTF is continuing its Conservation Educator of the Year Award program to recognize educators who demonstrate the most innovative use of the Wild About Turkey Education Box and also demonstrate a commitment to teaching conservation education in the classroom. The winner will receive recognition and a grant to fund a conservation education project the following school year. The winner receives a plaque and a $1000 grant to fund a conservation education project in his or her classroom the following school year and will be recognized at the NWTF annual Convention and Sports Show.
